Nothing happened all night. When I woke up the next day, I still had some morning exercises and then discussed matters. After breakfast, everyone went about their business. Jin Bi did not come, but sent a military general to report that nothing happened overnight. Today, he plans to send out multiple scouts to detect the movements of the Qin people. Lord Xinling asked him to visit Captain Daliang and have breakfast there before going back. After breakfast, I took Mr. Zhongyue to visit Xu Jia. When Xu Jia heard that Lord Xinling asked him not to rush for success and ask the King of Han to send troops, but to be satisfied with asking the King of Han to send food to Huayang, he immediately avoided the table and worshiped: "Your Majesty has great talent and great strategy, which is in line with diplomacy." The way. Now that the friendship between Korea and Qin is strong, there is no way to get between them without great benefits. If we take advantage of a small gap, they will eventually leave."
Lord Xinling seemed a little surprised to see Xu Jia's full agreement. None of the excuses he prepared yesterday were used: he was still afraid that Xu Jia would insist on the king's life and refused to compromise. After saying goodbye, Xu Jia walked to the entrance of the warehouse and said that the big plan had been decided. He did not need to stay long and could go to Zheng to visit the King of Han. Lord Xinling said: "Yun and the young master have been together for several days!"
Xu Jia said: "It is righteousness to forget about the country and the family. It is a good thing that the dog can follow the young master. Where can I leave my ministers?" Zhongyue then led Xu Jia to the barracks where his retainers lived, and let the doorman in charge of this barracks lead him. Next, check the carriages, horses, oxen, etc., as well as the tributes from the envoys. The tributes included many silks and other luxury goods, but not much food. Jia was ordered to keep all the food and send it to Lord Xinling. The missing items would be purchased after arriving in Zheng. Mr. Xinling also thanked him in person.
After Lord Xinling and Zhongyue returned to the mansion, they visited Captain Huayang and asked him if he would like to return home with Doctor Xu Jia. Unexpectedly, this fat man with a bloated body still had some backbone and said: "Whenever you are about to go out, you will return without victory and be with the north. If you need anything, you can ask me without asking."
Lord Xinling then called Han Busen and asked him to communicate with Captain Huayang alone for a while. Han Bushen nodded in response and then reported back to Lord Xinling: "I am here to assist Wei in his mission, and I am willing to go Follow it." Lord Xinling naturally paid tribute to him with courtesy and thanked him endlessly. He then took Han Bu Shen to Xu Jia's place. The two met and talked in detail for a long time. Mr. Xinling could not accompany him, so he resigned first.
After returning home, Zhang Ye also finished handling his daily affairs and met Lord Xinling in front of the court. Seeing that there was no one around except Mr. Zhongyue, he said: "I have thought twice about unsealing the title, and I would like to go and observe it. "
Lord Xinling took the two of them into the hall, sat in front of the screen, and asked, "I would like to hear the details."
Zhang Ye said: "The people of Qin live in Qifeng with the intention of lasting. If there are not many ways to mislead and disturb them, they will definitely be a trouble to their close friends. They will be restless on the side of the beam. Therefore, they must urgently find a strategy to defeat the enemy. Now the enemy has a gap. , If you don't take advantage of it, how can you defeat the enemy?"
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, it is unusual for you to lead the city guard. Once you are in danger, something will happen sooner or later. Who can help you?"
Zhang Jue said: "Si Mang is well versed in military affairs, and Xiao Jian is skilled in camp affairs, so they can be consulted by the emperor. Mr. Zhongyue is in charge of the affairs of the city, and Dr. Jin Bi is in charge of military affairs. I don't worry about anything else. I will go to unify in person. Exploring the situation carefully and taking advantage of it is the right time."
Lord Xinling pondered for half a minute and said, "Sir, I have made up my mind, so I dare not obey my order. May I ask who will accompany you?"
Zhang Ye said: "Mr. Guo has many eyes and ears, and his son lives nearby. I would like to ask for help. Cao Bao is a righteous man. He is loyal and brave, rarely talks, and is a hero. I would like to ask for help. There are two or three warriors living inside and outside, passing on and receiving orders. Yes."
Lord Xinling said: "Uncle Tang has many heroes, can he still be used?"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Although the Tang family and others stayed in Kaifeng for more than one day, their income was small. Moreover, they have been in the grass for a long time, and their appearance is not known to everyone, so it is difficult to hide them. Now they live together with the carriage outside the city. If they hear any complaints, it will be difficult to do anything. use."
Lord Xinling said: "A chivalrous husband is a man who fights for power and power, and is often unfair. But Mr. Xiahou can get close to him..."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Master Wei said that I have not saved myself. Mr. Xiahou is now in the city, far away from him. If he is close, maybe he can be safe."
Lord Xinling said: "Except for the convoy outside the city, except for Uncle Tang who leads Xingyang, there are still four lines of Huayang. What's going on now? The food in the city may be in the camp. If it's not his car, it won't be done."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "The four-line chariots are not from the four lines, but from the people of the four villages. Huayang is close to home, so those who live in the open air are covered with money and food. If the money and food cannot be sustained, they may be separated."
Lord Xinling said: "This is what I am worried about. A gentleman is about righteousness, and a villain is about profit. This is what we call it."
Zhang He said: "Those who are first will follow, so we will move the camp. Now that the camp has been decided, everything is overestimated, so we will send them home. What can I do?"
Lord Xinling said: "I'm afraid that things are urgent and difficult to gather, so I'm staying here temporarily."
Zhang He said: "From now on until the end of the matter, I will rely on Huayang and fight to open the seal. He will not be there again. Even if there is victory or defeat, the general trend is like this. There are many complaints among the chariots of the Tang family, and the chariots of Huayang are homesick for their hometowns. , too much is bad for morale; it also costs money and food. It’s better to get the best of both worlds.”
Mr. Xinling said: "I would like to accept my teaching. I hope you gentlemen can discuss it properly and make sure that you have two things in mind."
The two of them said: "Greetings!"
Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Zhang is going to unsealing. Everything must be kept secret. You can prepare secretly. Don't make it public. You can act according to the opportunity. You must be safe and secure."
Zhang Zhuo said: "Your respects!" After a few more words of discussion, the two resigned. Mr. Xinling has been awake for a whole morning without stopping. Feeling a little sleepy, he went back to the East Pavilion and prepared to take a nap.
As soon as the slaves and children arrived at the camp, Lord Xinling distributed his own food to them; in the most difficult time, he could only get half full. When they arrived in Huayang City, there was enough food. Mr. Zhongyue provided the mother and son with two-thirds of the supply of strong men. They were able to eat enough for the past two days; and since everyone was eating, he did not have to work, which was very convenient. Leisure. The child was very interested in practicing martial arts. He watched the disciples practice in the morning every day, and he imitated them for several days in a row, never getting tired of it.
When Lord Xinling walked into the East Pavilion, the child was imitating and practicing, and the little slave was watching. Seeing Lord Xinling come in, he hurriedly stopped his power and came over to greet him. Lord Xinling casually gave the child some pointers on how to practice, and said to the slave: "Take a break for a while."
The young slave spread out the straw mattress, waited for Lord Xinling to lie down, and then retreated to the door with his child. It was already noon, and although there was a bit of cold wind, the sun was still warm on my body. There was almost no one in the court, probably all taking a nap. The child went down to the steps, found a corner, and continued to practice. Thanks to Lord Xinling's guidance, his posture became more reasonable. The little slave sat down by the door, looking comfortable and contented, as if as long as he had food to eat every day, there would be nothing to worry about in the world.
Zhong Yue returned to the house after finishing his work. Since there was no one else in the court, although the child was hiding in the corner, he was very eye-catching and immediately attracted Mr. Zhong Yue's attention. Mr. Zhongyue originally wanted to go back to his room and take a nap, but when he saw the child practicing kung fu and looking good, he thought about it and walked directly over.
When the little slave and the child saw Mr. Zhongyue coming, they either collected their merits or stood up to greet him. Zhongyue smiled and said, "Nothing else. The little boy is very happy. Although he is young, he likes to practice martial arts and enjoys it tirelessly." "
The little slave said: "I am ignorant, but when I see others practicing martial arts, I just pretend to do it. Only when I get guidance from you, I will practice it."
Zhong Yue said: "What you master is the king's sword. But if you get one or two, you will never be able to use them all."
The child said: "I must practice with all my heart!"
Mr. Zhongyue asked the child to continue practicing and said to the slave: "Is your Majesty living well?"
The little slave said: "Eating is fine, but I have been working too hard and I feel sleepy every day."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Is there anything that worries you and makes you unhappy?"
The little slave said: "That's right, I haven't seen it yet."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "But if you see that your Majesty is agitated and depressed, you can come and tell me so that I can share your worries."
The little slave said: "Sir, I would like to thank you for your righteousness."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "I see your home outside the city, it seems like a foreign country. Where did you come from, and why are you here alone?"
The little slave said: "The little slave wandered away with his parents when he was young. It is difficult to know what happened at a young age. He has been living here since he remembered the incident. He was cared for by his father and brother in the city, and he was able to survive."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Is this little boy your own?"
The little slave said shyly: "Yes."
Mr. Zhongyue asked: "Who is his father?"
The little slave said coquettishly: "The little slave has never met his beloved, so he really doesn't know his father."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "It is difficult for the mother to give birth to a son. Who can help?"
The little slave said: "It was born in the house and ate its own navel. It cannot be helped by others."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "I have nothing to do, but don't take it to heart. I want to take a nap, so I'll say goodbye!" He bowed his hands and bowed his head. When Mr. Zhongyue returned to the room, he took a deep breath. His whole body was trembling and swaying, almost as if he had collapsed. The child who was practicing on the side saw him and hurriedly came over to help him. Xiaonu woke up suddenly, stretched out his hand to stop him, and put his finger to his mouth to signal him to be silent. Keeping his composure, he climbed up the steps and sat down. When the child saw that there was nothing unusual about his mother, he just ignored her and continued practicing. Xiaonu looked at the child, and the image in his heart gradually rose...
Mr. Zhongyue returned to his room and looked out through the window lattice. He did not see the scene where the slave had lost her composure just now. He only saw her going up the steps and sitting down again. Although he worked hard, the weakness of his legs could not be hidden by Mr. Zhong Yue, who was practicing medicine; the dazed look on his face was also visible in his eyes.
"This woman has a big responsibility..." Mr. Zhongyue thought. But there were still disciples in the room, so it was inconvenient to look at him, so he changed his clothes, sat down on the mat, put his hands on his knees, closed his eyes to rest, and thought about how to dig out the things in between.
Zhang Ye had to prepare for the unsealing, so he had no time to spare, and he couldn't make any noise. He had to do many things by himself, and he couldn't rely on others. He was still running around outside at noon. He thought about talking to Uncle Cao and Uncle Tang to ask some questions. These two people are now living outside the west city, looking after their own ox carts, so Zhang Nou went out of the west gate. Not far from the west gate, there is a row of counter-passengers, and opposite is the Lu family's car dealership. In order to prevent the convoy from being scattered, these reverse tours and carriage shops were occupied by the convoy drivers, including Uncle Tang and Uncle Cao. After Zhang Le left the city, he walked directly towards this place, went to Lu's car dealership and knocked on the door. It was Lu Buwei who opened the door. Lu Buwei is the concubine of Bai's car dealership, but he manages the team on behalf of the Bai family, so he did not return home. Zhang Nou was not surprised to see Lu Buwei. He was about to ask Mr. Tang and Mr. Cao where they were when he saw Lu Buwei with a mysterious look on his face: "Mr. Zhang is here in person! I am waiting to enter the city...there is a distinguished guest who wants to see you!"
